Lives Touched

You get this amazing opportunity to meet so many wonderful and faith-filled people that are essentially at the same point in life as you are. The retreat as a whole was a truly memorable and enjoyable weekend.— Alyssa

It really helped me lay out my life and figure out how to enter into a deeper relationship with God. There are so many distractions in life and the retreat helped me understand my priorities yet again.

Young Adult Retreat

Join 120+ young adults aged 18-39 years from around the Diocese for our annual retreat! Meet new friends in your age range (small groups by age 18-22, 23-26, 27-32 & 33+), hear inspiring and dynamic speakers; listen to awesome praise and worship music; participate in Mass, adoration and confession; have time for personal reflection as well as a bonfire and free time outdoors – zip lining, hiking, swimming, and more!

The retreat begins Friday at 6:30 PM (eat dinner before you come & please bring a snack to share) and ends Sunday at noon. The cost for 2017 is $150 per person. More details will be available at yamsd.org.
